Windows Trouble

A while ago I switched to Windows 10, and have been regretting it. One of my new problems is access to my computer. There is a new screen that requires the administrator of the computer to sign in, but increasingly it tells me my password is incorrect. That is pure panic. I depend on my computer for both business and social reasons.

I can usually jigger things around, restate my old password, and get back in. But I want more than that. I want access without requiring my password. I live alone, and don't need separate family accounts. But Windows 10 forbids that, too. It supposedly offers account and security options but won't let me open my account and change anything. Neither can I change anything else such as background or screen choices. I'm screwed.

What a far cry this is from the days when I could control my computer. I've lost control. Windows 10 also denies my efforts to defragment my hard drive. There is no longer a choice. If I move to Apple I would have more options, but it would mean learning a new language. I've used Microsoft since the DOS days before Windows existed. Maybe the solution is to find an antique typewriter and do my manuscripts the old way, and write letters rather than trying to use machines that take my options from me.
